Chlorobenzene is extremely less reactive towards a nucleophilic substitution reaction. Give two teasons for the same. |
|
Answer» The two reasons are as follows: (i) Resonance effect : The electron pair of chlorine atom is involved in conjugation with the π-electrons of the benzene ring. As a result, electrons of C-Cl bond get delocalized and a partial double bond character develops in the bond and hence, it becomes difficult for the nucleophiie to cleave the C-Cl bond. (ii) Increased electron density : A repulsion is suffered by the nucleophile due to increased electron density on the benzene ring which prohibits the nucleophile to make a close access for the attack on the molecule. |
|
| 189. |

p-dichlorobenzcnc has higher melting point than ortho and meta dichloro benzene. Why? |
|
Answer» The melting point of p-dichloro benzene is higher than the melting point of the corresponding ortho and mcta isomers. The higher melting which leads to more close packing of its molcules in the crystal lattice and consequently strong intermolecular attractive forces which requires more energy for melting. p-dichlorobenzene > o-dichlorobenzene > mdichlorobenzene |
|
| 191. |
p- dichlorobenzene has highest m.p. than those of ortho and m-isomers.? |

Explain why: 1. the dipole moment of chiorobenzene is lower than that of cyclohexyl chloride? 2. alkyl halides though polar, are immiscible with water? 3. Gringard reagents should be prepared under anhydrous conditions? |
|
Answer» 1. Chlorobenzene is stabilised by resonance and there is negative charge on ‘Cl’ in 3 out of 5 resonating structures, therefore it has a lower dipole moment than cyclohexyl chloride in which there is no such negative charge. 2. Alkyl halides cannot form H-bond with water and cannot break H-bonds between water molecules, therefore they are insoluble in water. 3. Grignard reagents react with H2O to form alkanes, therefore they are prepared under anhydrous conditions. |

Which one of the following has the highest dipole moment, and why?(a) CH2Cl2(b) CHCl3(c) CCl4 |
|
Answer» CH2Cl2 has the highest dipole moment since both the Cl- atoms are present on one side (on the head) of c – atom and therefore cause a maximum dipole moment. In CHCl3 and CCl4, two Cl – atoms and four Cl – atoms cancel out their dipole moments. |
